About the Programs:

The Leader-In-Training and Counselor-In-Training programs are designed for teenage campers interested in developing leadership skills that will help them become leaders at camp, in their communities back home, and in future careers down the road. Our Leader-In-Training programs last two weeks. Our Counselor-In -Training programs last three weeks with multiple sessions for both to choose from. We highly recommend campers first participate in the Leader-inTraining Program before the Counselor-in-Training program as there are lessons and skills that build on previous experiences.

Happy writing and email campmiller@duluthymca.org if after looking everything over you have any questions.
